About these ratings

Tool ratings combine recorded performance with statistical estimates. Speed, arm, and fielding include outcome-based estimates rather than direct physical measurements.

Limited MLB evidence: 47.4% MLB and 52.6% level-adjusted minor-league estimate.

Minor-league estimate: 57.0% observed statistical weight and 43.0% historical peer baseline; individual tools use their own sample weights.

* On NTV, this indicates estimated or unverified inputs. CE uses an asterisk only when current contract information is unavailable.

CE uses the best available contract information, including partial terms, estimated salaries, and projected team control. CE shows an asterisk only when current contract information is unavailable; free agents without a current agreement use 100*.

Movement describes tracked pitch movement within pitch type. Minor-league comparisons account for competition level; unavailable measurements display MD.

Edge Profile

Edge combines Perf, Stick, and Carry to show how valuable a player is right now. With a Perf of 68, Stick of 79, and Carry of 74, Luis Morales sits in the 2nd percentile, 9th percentile, and 2nd percentile in those areas. His 48 Edge lands in the 2nd percentile and ranks 98th among hybrid pitchers.

Stick Profile

Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Luis Morales' 79 Stick suggests he is performing below what his underlying profile supports. It also places him in the 9th percentile and ranks 89th among hybrid pitchers.

Perf Profile

Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Luis Morales's contributions to every team he played for. His 68 Perf is well below average on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 2nd percentile and ranks 98th among hybrid pitchers.

Carry Profile

Carry places Perf in the context of the roster around a player and includes a bounded clutch adjustment for offense, pitching, and defense when available. Close games and later innings earn more weight, and difficult defensive plays receive their own credit. His clutch runs are offense +0.0, pitching -0.6, defense +0.0. The strongest rated teammates are Nick Kurtz at 130, Shea Langeliers at 125, and Zack Gelof at 124. Luis Morales has contributed about as much as his own Perf suggests, resulting in a Carry of 74.

LI Profile

LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 24, Luis Morales carries a 107 LI, which points to a steady near-term outlook without a major longevity advantage. That places him in the 65th percentile and ranks 11th among hybrid pitchers.

CE Profile

CE compares expected production with the money and years attached to a contract. The model uses a 6 seasons control horizon, $0.8 million average annual value, and about $0.8 million in contract-scenario costs for Luis Morales. Options and arbitration can make those years or costs conditional; manual contract inputs may lag new agreements. His 100 CE is close to a fair exchange between salary and production, placing him in the 11th percentile and 81st among hybrid pitchers.

NTV Profile

NTV estimates Luis Morales's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His +15* NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 82nd percentile and ranks 39th among hybrid pitchers. Luis Morales carries clear positive value and should return a useful major league piece or prospect package.
